This Semester is Coming to an End!

Wow. The semester is almost over! I am currently working on my shirt, which is taking me forever to finish. I have been working on it for about ummm 5 LAB PERIODS which is 15 HOURS!! I am making it out of a taupe-ish polyester fabric. It has a Mandarin collar, with 3/4 length sleeves. It also has 6 black and gold colored buttons down the front. I would like to mention that i used a machine to make my button holes...That was pretty fascinating. I only had a couple of puckers this time which isn't too bad considering the fact that I had to sew "set-in sleeves". But I fixed them so it looks better now:)
Not only am I working on finishing my shirt, I am also trying to get my sample notebook finished. I only have one more lab period to work on everything before the semester ends, but hopefully I'll get it all finished. Our sewing room is literally like the Project Runway room right before their time is out to quit working. Everyone is trying to work as quickly as possible. Fabric and threads are everywhere! (i feel so sorry for the cleaning lady). All of the tables are covered in fabric swatches, notions, scissors, folders, pin cushions, and everything else possible. I think the only thing that is keeping us all sane right now is the lovely music that we play in the background. But seriously.
